Sadly, we arrived home on Sunday night and are right back into real life. Pretty tough after an awesome 8 night stay at the Fort. But, you have to go home eventually, so we did. And besides getting back to work and schooling the girls, we have taken a bit of time to organize pictures from the trip and I started giving thought to a trip report. And so, here we go.
I should first point out that we had just been to the Fort for 11 nights not even 4 months ago. Yes, we spoiled ourselves a bit by purchasing APs before the last trip, with the idea of getting in 3 trips in a year and then taking some time off. Our November trip was great, and we also planned a March trip (just completed) and a third trip in October. But, life sometimes doesnt play out as planned and the October trip, or any future trips for some time, will likely not happen. I wont bore you with the details, but we are in the process of pursuing the adoption of a little girl from Russia. She is 4 years old and has Downs Syndrome. We hope the adoption is finalized sometime this fall, and Christy and I will be making two trips to Russia during the process. So, our free time and money wont be heading Disneys way any time soon. And knowing that, we made sure we enjoyed this trip as much as possible.
Here are some of the headlines Ill try to cover in this report:
We Are Getting Good At This
Break Out The Hushpuppies and Sweet Tea
The Contents of Your Stomach Are Closer Than They Appear
Who Knew She Was Such a Sweetheart?
It Kind of Defeats The Purpose
For those of you that suffered through my last trip report, you know the terrible pain and anguish that was inflicted on me and my family by the fairest of them all, the elusive little b*%tch, Snow White aka Ms. White. If you havent read the sad tale, Ive linked the Nov 2009 trip report in my signature below. Read at your own risk. But let me assure you, she knew what she was doing. Not only was she elusive, she openly mocked me in one of her public appearances, as you can clearly see in this photo from November.
In any case, I vowed then that this trip would be different, that I would successfully meet Ms. White. Not only that, I vowed to get a picture of myself with the elusive little princess on my arm for all the world to see.
Was I successful?? Ummm, well get to that later
